All Cigar Discussion>Good nonalcoholic drink pairing

Sorry if this belongs in the drink forum, but I am thinking about cutting back on my whiskey drinking (I know, I know). Now I don't plan on quiting cigars, but I am so used to having my scotch/bourbon with my smoke. What soft drinks work well with a smoke? Just wanted to hear some opinions.

Rootbeer, cream soda, Dr.Pepper, any coffee drink (iced or hot), ice tea just to name a few.:-)

Yep. I sometimes drink A&W Rootbeer or sweet tea.

I've really been enjoying IBC diet rootbeer with my smokes when it's been too early to crack into the booze. It has been great with several different smokes.

Love coffee in the morning and afternoon.

For nights, Arnold Palmer iced teas are great.

I like the John Daly's too:-)

I prefer a coffee, always hot too, ice coffee i drink too fast. I do enjoy a hot tea most afternoons. I like ice tea, but not as much as ice coffee.

for soda, usually ginger ale, because it is usually what I have on hand,

for a cocktail, my go to drink is rum and ginger ale.

Depends on what I'm smoking but I do enjoy Boylans Cream Soda, Coke/Mexican Coke, Water and Ice Tea (unsweetened and not flavored).

I drink lemonade(pink) usually, sometimes tea...I feel the carbonation in soda can screw with how you taste a cigar....

My favorites are dark soda, Dr. Pepper at number one, hot coffee, iced coffee.

I've noticed a couple times that certain teas, iced or hot, have reacted negativity with certain cigars, bringing out a tanic, bitter flavor that really turns me off. I've noticed it with water/club soda with lemon as well but sometimes plain, ice water tastes so good.

My new favorite is a fountain Coke (or Dr. Pepper) with plenty of ice. Just perfect with a Party.

Also, Hi-C orange. Robbed from from the kid's stash the other night and it wasn't bad...

I would be more concerned with how the tartness of pink lemonade would mess with the taste of a cigar than I would with carbonation. :-)

I like Arnold Palmers, but I find that lemonade can give my cigar a bitter aftertaste, especially if it's a corojo wrapper.
